Postdoctoral position: Fault-Tolerant Model Predictive Control



A postdoctoral fellow is needed for the development of algorithms 

that integrate model predictive control and fault detection and

diagnostic systems, for the design of fault-tolerant control systems. 

The algorithms will be evaluated in a realistic simulation case

study for a refining process with a wide variety of fault scenarios,

process disturbances, actuator and state constraints, and model

uncertainties.



The candidate should have a Ph.D. in chemical, mechanical, control,

or electrical engineering, or a closely related field, with a strong

background in model predictive control and an interest in learning

methods for the design of integrated fault diagnosis systems.



Applications should email a CV, a statement of professional interests,

and the names and emails of at least three technical references to:
